As soon as I saw this card, I knew that I was going to have to have one for my collection.

My first attempt was purchasing the retail blaster that these special commemorative cards were inserted into. Sadly, that did not go as planned so I had to settle for ‘Plan B’ and find one on the web for a suitable price.

At first, they were selling for much more than I would pay, especially when I could still pull one from a box and nab a bunch of extra cards as well in a blast for $19.99.

So, I waited. And I watched them sell day by day, week by week, and eventually month by month. And as the months passed. the prices started to drop. and pretty soon more and more were going unsold.

And finally, I was able to bring one home at a great price!!

And now I have my Jim Palmer 2013 Topps Manufactured Rookie Card Patch!!!

Patience pays off and this is a great addition to my Palmer collection!
